Wanted—A Printer.
THE TYPOGRAPHICAL CRAFTSMAN KULO-
GIZED.
“ Wanted—A Printer,”.says an adver
tisement. Wanted a mechanical curi
osity, with brain and fingers—a thing
that will set so many types a day—a ma
chine that will think and act, but still a
machine—a being who undertakes the
most systematic and monotonous drudg
ery, yet one that the ingenuity, of man
has never supplanted mechanically
that’s a printer.
A printer—yet for all his sometimes
dissipated and reckless habits, a worker
at all times and hours; day and night
bitting up in a close and unwholesome
office, when gay crowds are hurrying to
the theatres; later still, when the street
revelers are gone and the city sleeps, in
the fresh air of the morning, in the broad
and gushing sunlight, some printer is at
his case, with his eternal and unvarying
click! click !
Click! Click! the polished.types fall
into the stick; the mute integers are mar
shaled into line, ami march forth as im
mortal print. Click! and the latest in
telligence becomes old ; thought a princi
ple; simple lead a livingsentiment. Click!
Click! from grave to gay—a scandal, a
graceful and glowing sentiment—are in
turn closed by the mute and impressive
fingers of the machine, and set a drill in
the sea of thought. He must not think of
the future, nor recall the past; must not
think of home, of kindred, of wife, nor
of baby; his work lies before huu, and
thought is chained to his copy.
You know him by his works, as your
eyes rest upon those mute evidences of his
ceaseless toll. Correspondents, authors
advisers, who scorn the simple medium
of our fame, think not that he is indiffer
ent to the gem of which he is but the
setter; a subtle ray may penetrate the re
cesses of his brain, or the flowers he gath
ers may leave some of their fragrance
upon the toil-worn Angers. But when
you seek a friend, companion, adviser—
when you want judges, legislators, gov
ernors and presidents—O, ye people, ad
vertise :
“ Wanted—A Printer.”
Tbe Head or Mary, Queen or Scots.
We And the following in a late Lon
don paper:
Very few persons are perhaps aware of
the existence of a very peculiar portrait
of Mary Stuart—sketch taken Immedi
ately afler death ; and when we were fa
vored with a sight of it, it formed part ol
the collection of pictures in the breakfast
room of Ahbotstord. it is a painting of
“ The Head of Mary, Queen of Scots in a
Charger," at least it is so catalogued in
the description of the personal property
made at Abbotsford, in Sir Walter’s owu
handwriting. The head is laid upon the
centre ofyj.bedish, and placed in oblique
position,/With the ghastly neck nearest
the spectator, so that the nose is fore
shortened, and the nostrils front you.—
Such u position must have been u very
difficult one for artistic effect. Yet, with
all the disadvantages, the artist must ser
ially lias achieved wonders. In splleol
the foreshortening,4n spite of the livid
hue of death, the face is superlatively
beautiful, and in guziilgat it, one can be
lieve any tale of the wlchery of her love
liness. The hair, plentifully sprinkled
with gray, rolls down in most remark
able luxuriance, os if to hide the ghastly
evidence ot decapitation. The nose, of
the finest Grecian torm, descends from
the broad brow, which wears 44 that width
of ridge” Lavater declares was worth a
Kingdom.” The eye brows are exquisi
tively arched above the closed eyelids
frorn beneath which you almost fancy
you discern the gleam of dark, melan
choly eyes. The mouth is slightly open,
ami though somewhat swollen by suffer
ing, is of exquisite formation. The whole
picture is terrible, yet lovely; a perfect
image of death by violence, of beauty un
subdued by pain. .

The Application of* Johnny Nlerl, * the Late
Oil Prince, to be admitted to Banßtrnpiey
—A few lucldcnteomu Career as » nilllota-
John \V. Steel, familiarly known os
“Johnny Steel,” and sonfewhat dis
tinguished as an “oil prince,” having for
u considerable length of time enjoyed the
prlnbely income of 2,000 per day. Hied in
the United States District Court, a volun
tary petition in bankruptcy. Many of
bur readers will remember his romantic
Exploits in the East, published sometime
ago. during which be is reported to have
squandered several hundred thousand
dollars. After having “sowed ids wild
oats,” and losing Ids oil farm, ho found
Idiuselfln rather straitened circumstan
ces, and was recently compelled to earn
a living by driving mi oil team. His in
debtedness; as set forth Ja his petition,
amounts to over $100,00(1.
Sleel is a Pennsylvanian by birth, and
is now In the neighborhood of twenty
lluee years of age. Ho lias had but little
education, has no business quulitications
or shrewdness, and especially cut out by
Dame Nature to attest the truth of the
proverb, that " A fool and his money are
Noon parted.” Of his early youth we
-know very little; manhood and riches
sprang upon him about the same time.—
His interest in the famous McCllntock
farm and oil wells, in Venango county.
bequeathed him hy his father, for a num
ber of years yielded him un income of
53,0i10 per day. This princely income
was the means of awakening in “John
wy” an ambition to seek other fieldand
sources of amusement than those offered
in the wilds of Venango county. We
heard of him first by IDs lavish waste of
wealth in Philadelphia. Here he made
Die acquaintance of Messrs. Skiff & Gay
lord, of minstrel fame, and one of IDs
first rash purchases was an entire new
outfit for the minstrels, composed of vel
vet coats and vests-and plaid trowsera
(many of cnir readers will remember Die
troupe in this uniform.) To those eccen
tric costumes lie added diamond breast-
pins of the first water, and a new suit of
clothes for each member for Die street.
Several members of Carncross & Dixey’s
minstrels, of Philadelphia, was also fa
vored in the same manner.
Another of “johnny’s” eccentric acts
in Philadelphia is related as follows:
Walking down Chestnut street one day
with a friend, he espied a beautiul span
of horses attached to a splendid carriage,
just turning down from Second. To see
was to envy ; so, hailing the driver, Sum
M , who. as it happened, was also the
owner, “Johnny” coolly asked him if lie
would sell his establishment Sum. look
ed credulously at his customer, wonder
ing if he were drunk or crazy, when
“ Johnny” again put forward the ques
tion : “ What will you tune for the whole
rig?” Sam with a wink, and while
knocking theashes from ids cigar, doubt
less thinking to frighten his unknown
customer, replied: “Well I guess about
S7,QUO will take the lot. “Johnny an
swered by laying' seven one thousand
dollar hills on the seat of the vehicle,
and taking hold of the reins, coolly said,
“ Hop out;” and “ hop out” Sam did.
while “Johnny” drove oIF, leaving Sam
standing in imazement on the corner.—
The day was spent in riding about the
city, anil spending money lavishly toward
evening he had employed a man todrive,
and Anally, while winding up the day, he
reached the Girard House, alighting on
the pavement, he asked the driver as to
ills circumstances, and learning that he
knew “ the grip of poverty,,’ “Johnny
made him a present of the horses and
carriage, telling the driver not to oiler
thanks, but to “ drive oil quick.”
While in Philadelphia, one of the ec
centricities of Ids morning walks on Mar
ket or Walnut streets, was to watch tor a
man with a shabby hat. He would then
follow him until he got in front of a hat
store, and then, with a swoop, lie would
land the offending hat into the middle of
the street, at the same lime uppologizing
to the wearer, and asking lilin into the
store, where he would buy him the best
to be hud.
“Johnny” never earned any baggage
with him while traveling, purchasing
every thing as he required.lt. Having
resolved one day to stop at the Continen
tal hotel, instead of Ills usual retreat—the
Glrard—he was driven there in compa
ny with a friend, Mr. Wm. B. y, a no
ted merchant of our oWn city. Saunter
ing up to the office, he made known Ins
desire to “slop a while.” Thefclerk
asked him as to the whereabouts of Ins.
baggage; “Johnny” replied that he had
none. “Then,” sa>a the clerk, “you
must pay in advance; that is our rule.
“Johnny” cast a glance at him, and
wondered that he was not known, bo,
winking at his friend 8.. he asked the
clerk If the proprietor was in ; receiving
a reply in the atftrmatlve, the lam-lord
soon made his appearance, when a con
versation of the following tenor ensued :
J. S.—“ You are-the proprietor, I be
lieve sir—the responsible man?”
Mr. K.—“ Yes, sir.”
j. S.—“ I wanted to make a short stay
with’you, but that gentleman (pointing
to tlie clerk) says I must pay in ad
vance.”
Mr. K.—“ Well, sir.”
J. B.—“ How much do you consider
your whole house worth for a day ?”
Mr. K.—“ About $3,000.”
J, B.—l’ll take 2A hours, anyhow, and
see how It goes.”
“Johnny” then counted out the mon

A Lad in Luck.—Lemuel Jones, a lad
about sixteen years of age, met with ex
traordinary good fortune. He was engag
ed in the task of walking from Eire to
Chicago, being a venturesome Jud, ami
having some vague plan of seeking his
fortune in the latter city. Between Euc
lid and Cleveland, lie picked up a large
wallet, tightly lied with a piece of led
tape. Upon openiug. the 'wallet, $0,001)
in greenbacks werd'disclosed to the glis
tening eyes of the buy, who hud not ex
pected to find his tortune in so short a
time after leaving home. There wore no
papers in the wallet indicating to whom
it belonged, and It Is jiOssible the boy
will remain in undisputed posession ol
the money. The wallet had been expos
ed to the weather and was considerably
damaged; some of the greenbacks, too,
were somewhat injured from the wet.
but not enough lo effect the value of any
of them.— Cleveland {Ohio) Plaindcaler.
Ventilation.—There has, of late,
been much discussion as to the proper
method of ventilating apartments, some
requiring the opening to be at the bot
tom of the room, ami others at the top.—
A recent author says both are right; that
the noxious gases generated by respira
tion, by emanations from the body, and
by combustions, are of two kinds—oome,
like carbonic acid, being heavier than
air, and tending to settle towards the
floor, others by rising to the ceiling. If,
therefore, openings be made at both le
vels, these gases will (low out, especially
if the fresh air be introduced thropgh &
register, intermediate between-the two.
In tins, however, care must be taken to
avoid a direct draft of the incoming air
on the body, which would, of course,
teud to produce cold.
A Cute Boy.—The pastor of one of our
churches was catechising the pupils of
his Sabbath school, and remarked : .
“ Remember, dear children, that God
is eyer.v where.”
The words had hardly escaped hi* Ups,
when a roguish little fellow up aud said
'to the pastor:
Please, sir. did you say that God was
everywhere?”
“ Yes, my son; everywhere.”
“ Is he in my pocket?”
“ Yes. he is in your pocket.”
“ Well, I guess I've got you there,”
was the triumph retort; “ ’cause 1 ain't
got any pocket.”
